Accelerating Linux

"With a smaller footprint than other operating systems, it brings cost-effectiveness to products running on this system. In addition, the ability to tailor it to particular applications and platforms makes it particularly advantageous to print server development," Emmett reports. "It is scalable from the low end to the high end, by adding and removing components; therefore, it provides the basis for a wide range of solutions. Furthermore, since it is open-source software, it can be modified as necessary. Linux also allows us to leverage a qualified code base into multiple solutions."
